Direction of rotation of the axle for our lifting handles
The KXC-RA4 is available in two axle rotation directions (right/left). As the lift handle always performs the same movement, the gearbox or the axis rotation must be set according to the L/R door side.IMPORTANT! It is essential to note the required direction of rotation of the axle when ordering.
TIP: The direction of rotation can always be seen from the rear of the door or lever. It is always the same as the side on which the door hinges are located.

What are the Distribution Boxes needed for?
The distribution boxes are required to network the components for front/rear door with rack levers and door contacts in the rack. Depending on the connection type of the rack lever, either via the direct networking of several levers in bus topology, or the connection to a Kentix SmartPDU.
One distributor is required per cabinet, to which the rack handle, the door contact and the networking among each other are then connected. The advantage, for 8 racks with 16 doors only one Ethernet port with PoE is needed.
Mechanical adapters for different rack manufacturer
Mechanical adapters for various rack manufacturers
On most IT racks, the Kentix cabinet lever fits without mechanical adjustment by means of an adapter. This is guaranteed by the standard 50 mm pitch dimension. However, there are some manufacturers who design proprietary locking systems. For the most common manufacturers, we offer mechanical adapters that are simply mounted between the cabinet and the lever. Supported cabinet manufacturers: Rittal, Vertiv (Knürr), Stengel, Schäfer, ZPAS, Modulan, and many more. If your required cabinet type is not included, please contact us, we regularly extend the list of manufacturers.

Kentix locking solutions for IT cabinets
Compared to conventional swing handles, the Kentix DoorLock-RA4 is a so-called lifting lever. The advantage: the handle allows space-saving and very ergonomic operation. The opening process is very convenient, as the lever springs open automatically and can be opened with one pull.
Due to the standard dimensions used (50 mm grid), the handle is already compatible with many rack cabinet types. For manufacturers with proprietary lever mechanisms, such as Rittal or Vertiv, there are corresponding adapter solutions for easy replacement.
In addition to the DoorLock-RA4, we also offer digital locking half cylinders or radio cabinet locks for simple IT distributors.
